That's was the initial guess, but I'm pretty certain that he's not cattle dog at all, but Border Collie and English Setter. He certainly has all the border collie attributes, and I got him from a border collie rescue group. As for the English Setter, that would explain the spots, the silky ears, and the pretty intense pointing. Also, all the cattle dogs I've seen have brown on them, and this one has no brown. One of these day's I'll spring for one of those canine DNA tests, but not today.
